Here a prehistoric Sue is a Viking maiden weaving a Rya rug, a 'fake fur' coverlet.
I used stitch #91 Double Fly for the flowers,
#92 Parma for the timber weaving frame,
#93 Rya for the fluffy tufts of wool in the weave, as well as Sue's long hair,
#94 Smyrna for decorations on her dress and
#95 Chemanthy for the sun - Vikings worshipped the sun.
The rest of the picture is made up of Stem Stitch (outlines of body, and warp) and Needle Weaving (weft).

I like this one too!
This is another pretty Sue, you are so good in coming up with how to use the stitches in your design!
Great embroidery and design Queenie.
Sue seems to have many friends, relations and ancestors, all living very interesting lives.
That's an inventive and very suitable stitch selection - well done!
She's very good at weaving
Oh, you are so ingenious with your stitches.
It is a good combination that you enjoy your designing and we all enjoy the viewing.
You are so imaginative!
Now that Sue is different.
You do have lovely ideas!
Such a cute picture! A great use of all those stitches!
Hugs,
